{{Theory Example
|Title=Acceptance of Cartesian and Newtonian Theories
|Description=Another example from ''The Laws of Scientific Change'':<blockquote>Suppose we study the history of the transition from the Aristotelian-medieval natural philosophy to that of Descartes in France and that of Newton in Britain circa 1700. It follows from ''the second law'' that both theories managed to satisfy the actual expectations of the respective scientific communities, for otherwise they wouldn’t have become accepted.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 130]]</blockquote>
